Source needed for lumina frame bulbs

[Silverstreak02]

Recently I purchased Star Wars in the Lumina frame. One of the clear bulbs doesn’t illuminate. Where can I get a replacement? This one isn’t clear but you get the idea.

The clear germ bulbs? I brought a packet of standard 24v bulbs off ebay and swapped them out reusing the same base. Can mean soldering the wires or clamping them onto the copper rail with the original base. Took less than 2 minutes per bulb.

Do you have a link to the bulbs?

Thanks for the link. How do I get the old bulb out of the holder?

[takethecastle57]

It should be like the miniature Christmas lights . I just looked at one from one of my Lumina /Bisty frames you do need a flat tip screw driver to release the two wires on the lamps from the two brass holders/ electrical connectors then just reverse the movements to put in the known good bulb .

Thanks I’ll give it a try.

I was able to remove the two brass contacts and the bulb today. The bulb looks different than the picture in the e-bay link. Are you sure that is the bulb I need before I order?

[Silverstreak02]

Does the machine use 24 or 28 volt bulbs?

[takethecastle57]

Multimeter the contacts on the empty lamp socket with the machine turned on

[takethecastle57]

The ones on eBay I hope that you can remove them from the white "Holder"

I didn’t buy those.

I received my bulbs from China faster than expected. I compared the original bulb to the replacements and found the diameter is .021 smaller than the original and the same length. I replaced one and it works normally. I’ll add that getting the brass retainers out is difficult and putting them back in is even harder. They are also hard to find when you drop them on the carpet. Unless they start burning out I’m calling this done.

They are 24v mini bulbs 5mm X 12mm. I bought a bag of 100.
